About Boss's Day
Boss is that person who helps you become a better employee and always pushes you towards achieving your goals. He or She inspires and encourages you in many ways that enhances your creativity and productivity. The boss not only supports the employees with their jobs but also plays an important role in their career planning. Every year, Boss’s Day is observed on 16th October when employees show appreciation towards their boss for his or her constant support and guidance. They express gratitude towards their bosses through gifts, cards, and flowers for being so helpful throughout their career.
The concept of National Boss Day began in 1958 when Patricia Bays Haroski, an employee at State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Illinois, registered the holiday with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. She chose October 16, which was her father’s birthday as she was working for her father at the time. She wanted to designate a day to show appreciation for bosses, which she hoped will improve the relationship between employees and supervisors. Four years later, in 1962, Illinois Governor Otto Kerner officially proclaimed the Day. With the growing popularity of this day, it is now also observed in countries like Australia, India, and South Africa.
